a new silence
I. silent regretbroken by your gaze
of immunity
your subtle touch
abates my insecurity
as my broken heart
reaches for your healing
my hands
find
redemption
II. falling fast
at the sound of
your voice
and i stand
before you
helpless
i am back
where i started
honesty is all i have
for you
i can tell you about hurt
and pain and loss
but
i can teach you
what love is
and as you sit before me
arms open
i can only stare
III. silent words release
a sigh
from my lips
an escape from
my confusion
and i no longer feel
misunderstood
a balance
i embrace
lying in your arms
your flawless touch
fingertips hold
soft longings
pretensions unspoken
moments unwritten
